2008 Pontiac G8 - Best Car All Around

I own a 2008 Pontiac G8. I bought it three years ago. Besides oil changes and tires, the car has never been in the shop for any mechanical issues. It's so reliable! I love how this car handles. All my friends beg me to drive it because of how smooth and well it handles. I'm always getting compliments on the car everywhere I go. I love how fast it gets up to speed. The interior of the car is amazing! It's not leather and if you get a little dirt on it, it'll just wipe right off. The only thing I dislike about the car is that it does have quite a few blind spots.

Story

We went and bought a ton of fireworks and filled up the whole trunk which the trunk is enormous. We brought them down to the bar and everyone gathered around the car to check out all the fireworks. It was a blast!

Pros

It handles well and gets decent gas mileage (25hwy/19 city). I have the grey one and it looks very slick and stylish. One of my favorite features is the tire gauge on the dash and the 6 disc CD player it has. My absolute favorite thing is that it isn't in and out of a shop! Saves me a million headaches every month.

2008 Pontiac G8 - Fast Pontiac G8 GT

I purchased my 2008 Pontiac G8 GT brand new. It is now 8 years old. Pretty much a typical GM vehicle meaning it runs great but the interior is starting to fall apart after 8 years. The car has 11 speakers. Two of the speakers have blown and I cut the wire to those to prevent speaker rattle. The headliner is now dropping down and will need repair. The external temperature button has lost its lettering. A plastic shield below the drivers seat has broken free. That is all the negatives. The car has 92,000 miles on it and zero problems with the motor and transmission. The car is still very fast which is why I bought it. The car still looks good after 8 years.

Story

I had six slow pokes holding up the highway. I was easily able to pass those jokers in one attempt. Don't ask how fast I was going by the time I got around the front car. Let's just say it was over 100 MPH.
